Outboard Wooden Sailboat Rudder - Episode 235 - Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

Tonight! Monthly livestream for Patreon members $5/mo and above: https://www.patreon.com/acorntoarabella Bob Emser is building our dinghy. See the latest videos: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheArtofBoatBuilding Steve hauls out the lofting floor for the first time in a long time to take a shape from it—he's building the outboard rudder from rugged oak harvested from the farm, and begins by making a template. After a few homemade bolts and some TotalBoat FlexEpox, we're set to start shaping this thing with an adze. Woodworking at its best. We also might be pouring a bit of lead here in the coming days... stay tuned! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sign up for our email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella is a wooden boat building project taking place in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve started as an amateur wooden boat builder building a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and beyond—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that classic wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY boatbuilding project will continue well past launch, when he and the crew will travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are interested in supporting/helping here are a few ways: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/how-to-help Acorn to Arabella's wishlist: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority TotalBoat Referral: Need something TotalBoat sells?
